Transmission problem
1999 Dodge Ram V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently purchased a used truck 99 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with 150K miles. Didnt notice it on the test drive, but on occassion when i take off slow from a complete stop i can feel the transmission "shutter" between first and second, a hesitation back and forth a few times. If i press on the gas it will go away and shift thru the gears fine. I dropped the pan, changed the fluid/filter, but seems to be doing the same thing. most times the tranny works fine, but I really notice it when its a light touch of the pedal in first gear. Also noticed it the other day when I was slowing down to take a corner that turned into a hill, as I was climing a paved hill it was doing a bit of the "shuttering". any idea's.? Thanks for your time
